Paclient Error: E2312 Error: Resource Directory '\res' Does Not Exist

If I make a new project and then try to run it, I get this error: [PAClient Error] Error: E2312 ERROR: resource directory '\res' does not exist I know that this error can be solv

Solution 1:

FIXED. I uninstalled Delphi and cleaned the registry of everything I found about RAD Studio 12.0 and installed again. Now the default icons are assigned to new projects.

This is a bug. If you install Delphi XE5 with no OS X or iOS support, you will run into this problem. I filled a bug report here.

Solution 2:

I have also seen this error in XE6 when using a project imported from AppMethod. The paths to the launcher icons contain an extra "\AppMethod" in them, which when removed will fix this error.

Select Tools > Options > Environment Options > SDK Manager.

    Here is the SDK Manager when it is fully populated with the recommended Android SDK:

    Note:
        The SDK Manager fields are blank if the SDK Manager cannot detect the default installed Android SDK and you have not yet added an Android SDK to the SDK Manager.
        Fields that are marked with YellowBang.png donot have the correct path. Click the [...] in that field and browse to the installed location of the library files. 

Click Add.
On the Add a New SDK dialog box, click the down-arrow in the Select an SDK version field, andselect Add New... from the drop-down list:

    Note: If your installed Android SDK is listed in the Select an SDK version list, select your Android SDK.

The Create a new Android SDK wizard is displayed.
    Complete the first two fields on this wizard: Android SDK Base Path and Android NDK Base Path (their installed locations). Either enter the paths of the installed locations or click the ellipsis [...] and navigate to the installed locations.
    The YellowBang.png symbol indicates that the base paths are missing, and the Next button is enabled only after these fields are filled.
    Here is the wizard when no SDKs have been added and the base path fields are empty:

        This wizard verifies the base paths you specify andthenauto-populates the paths to the various other libraries (that is, the tools on page 2of the wizard). 
        Thus, you might need to enter only the base paths for the NDK and SDK, on page 1of the wizard. Then the second page will auto-populate, if given a little time. Or you might need to verify the auto-populated addresses (if they are present). 

    Here is the first page of the wizard after you browse to (or enter) the paths to the Android SDK and NDK. There are no YellowBang.png icons because the paths have been verified.

Click Nextto go to the next page of the wizard, where the wizard will attempt to prefill the fields by discovery.
    Here is the second page of the wizard with all its fields prefilled:

    For any fields that donot prefill, click the ellipsis [...] button and browse to the installed location. 
Click Finish to close the wizard. 

You can view and manage your installed Android SDKs by opening the SDK Manager.
